I rather suspect that Choccy may have the birth of William E Cooper as posted earlier.

Born before Elizabeth got together with Albert?And maybe they did not marry legally?

Did they have more children?
Have you found them on 1911?
I am not finding William under Leahy OR Cooper with parents Elizabeth and Albert on it...In fact cant find anything other than that posted by Shirley for 1911..


Births Jun 1899

Thank you all for your replys. Here are some answers. Josephs fathers occupation on Alberts birth certificate Bricklayers labourer. I have the birth cert for William Edward Cooper born February 1899 St George in the East father William Reginald . Mother Mary Eliza Cooper formerly Church.Not the right William. Again wrong cert obtained for a marriage August 1900 Shoreditch. Albert Cooper a carman( father Alfred Cooper) and Elizabeth Wilson.

Albert occupation on his death cert was a labourer (electricity power station.) he lived 27 St Georges Road Islington. but died St Mary`s Islington (Highgate Hill). 1934

Since 2002 I keep returning to my Great Uncle Albert COOPER born April 1879 Denmark St. ST George in the East . Mother Elizabeth Cooper (Crowder) Father Joseph COOPER.

I have a death cert for Albert. Jan 1934 informant Elizabeth Cooper widow of deceased. my late Aunt remembered him and the details on cert are correct.

My problem is that I cannot find a correct marriage have an incorrect cert, also on census they have a son William E? again wrong certs obtained. They seem to be living his brother in law and wife. again cannot find them.

Any help greatly appreciated
